Privacy and encryption
Is Minyma end-to-end encrypted?
Minyma is designed so message and attachment content are encrypted on sender devices and decrypted on recipient devices.
Does Minyma require a phone number?
No. Minyma uses Minyma ID-based onboarding and does not require a phone number or social account to get started.
Does Minyma show ads or track me?
Minyma does not use ads or behavioral tracking.
Does Minyma sell or share my data?
Minyma does not sell or share personal data for advertising.
Does Minyma hide all metadata?
Minyma protects message content end to end and uses sealed-sender delivery for current call signaling, while the service uses limited operational metadata for routing, delivery, and reliability.
Does Minyma use post-quantum cryptography?
Minyma's strongest current direct-message path uses a verified PQXDH post-quantum-strengthened bootstrap before established sessions move into Double Ratchet.
What is Minyma's strongest current direct-session path?
The strongest current direct path is PQXDH post-quantum-strengthened bootstrap followed by Double Ratchet for established direct sessions.
Does Minyma block screenshots?
Minyma provides screenshot awareness after iOS reports a capture, and during active screen recording or mirroring it can hide sensitive content while capture is happening.
Does Minyma store any data at all?
Minyma still needs limited service and operational data to run registration, routing, delivery, abuse prevention, and support, even though message and file content are designed to stay encrypted.
Can Minymata read my messages?
Minyma is designed so the relay does not have the private keys required to read message or attachment plaintext.
Calls, devices, and control
Does Minyma support audio calling?
Yes. Minyma supports voice calling on iPhone and iPad with encrypted signaling and live media transport.
Does Minyma support video calling?
Yes. Minyma supports direct 1:1 video calling on iPhone and iPad, and current group threads can start and join live group voice and video calls in the same conversation flow.
How does Minyma protect call signaling?
Minyma uses encrypted call signaling with sealed-sender delivery across current direct and group call flows.
Does Minyma support multiple devices?
Yes. Linked-device workflows are part of Minyma's current account model.
What does the duress PIN do?
The duress PIN can wipe Minyma locally on the current device and, when enabled, first tries to delete the relay account before the local wipe.
Deletion and recovery
What happens when I delete my account?
Uploaded ciphertext attachments are deleted from Minyma's servers under normal retention and account-deletion flows. Delete Account is intended to remove relay-held devices, queued delivery data, profile information, push tokens, and uploaded ciphertext attachments. It does not erase content already downloaded to other users' devices.
What does Reset Local Identity do?
It wipes Minyma on the current device and returns it to onboarding without automatically deleting the relay account. If that same Minyma ID still exists on the relay, using it again may require a link token from another signed-in device. If you no longer have another signed-in device, you will need to create a new account with a new Minyma ID.
Is Minyma formally audited?
Minymata's security program includes independent review alongside public technical documentation, and review milestones are published as they are completed.
